Body MOTS Tried and Tested - £165 Well Person Check
As MediChecks put it, "We don't do fluffy white dressing gowns." What they offer is a bargain total blood screening, with a 25-page analysis of results (including an evaluation of the body's major organ functions, such as liver, kidney, bone, muscle and thyroid - 40 tests in all). The downside is that you don't get time with a doctor - you talk through results with a nurse - and you dont get a physical examination.
